My trunk stays full, traveling peddler, if I'm in Hendersonville.

Well, actually I own two but neither one of them would make it to
Hendersonvillw and back. One is a farm truck that never leaves the property
because it isn't even close to being street legal. The other might make it
but the gas bill is hard to imagine, F-250 w/ a 460 and a four barrel.

The F-250 isn't the dream vechicle to take on a four hour drive either.
Rides kinda rough when empty.

I'll keep your address handy as I borrow my uncle's pick up each year to get
piglets at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa.
